The Daily Telegraph - Saturday - Travel
Everything you need to know
Among the more than 140 countries and territories on the amber list, there is a variety of entry requirements for those who are fully vaccinated. There are also other points to consider, including whether direct flights are in operation to and from the UK and if the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) is advising against travel to the destination. The latter can influence the ability to secure travel insurance and whether tour operators can go ahead with trips to that destination. However, Grant Shapps, the Transport Secretary, has indicated that the Government will no longer offer blanket advice not to travel to amber destinations. Check gov.uk/ foreign-travel-advice for the latest news. In addition to those destinations on the green list (see telegraph.co.uk/ tt-greenlist), these are among the countries and territories that will be open (as it stands) to fully vaccinated Britons without quarantine from July 19.
